"Rather than propose a worked-out #centrist platform, or even suggest #opposition to the #Trump #administration, the event largely defined itself in opposition to the #progressive wing of the #Democratic Party."
Third Way’s strategy session for Democratic moderates lacked any vision other than a hatred for progressives.Henry Burke (The American Prospect)

"Without political parties and the lattice of institutions underpinning them, hyperpolitics will retain its staying power — on both the left and the right. True disorder may be just beginning."
It's really cool and #progressive that #ICE will now wear bodycams sometimes when they feel like documenting when they murder instead of just not murdering.
The arc of #justice is long or something and we achieve positive change through incremental steps or some shit. What's important is that it's #bipartisan and we need to be careful about being wrapped up in the #politics of identity. We all bleed red white and blue when we get murdered by ICE.
United we stand. Except when we get murdered. When we get murdered we fall.

Hallo zusammen. Ich bin #neuhier.
Mein Wechsel zu Mastodon ist ein bewusster Schritt weg von der Tech-Bro-Kultur von X und Instagram.
Mir geht es um digitale Souveränität und eine progressive, moderierte Community ohne Algorithmus-Zensur.
Als #Renegade schätze ich vor allem die Unabhängigkeit von Künstlern wie #Renmakesmusic,
die zeigen, dass es auch ohne die großen Konzerne geht.
Ich freue mich auf Austausch zu politisch progressiven Themen und unabhängiger Kunst.
Außerdem freue ich mich, dass ich keine Milliardäre reicher mache, indem sie entscheiden, womit ich mich online beschäftige.
#tourists #travel to become more open-minded about #diversity - at least that is what they claim. But does that lead to a more #liberal #progressive outcomes? Looking at the world today - doesn't seem to be so. Vast majority of #tourism is by the top 1-5% #wealthy who seem to be becoming greedier and less open-minded while worsening #climatechange

How about if the #progressive parts of #US #collaborate #trade #cooperate with the progressive parts of #Europe? Publicly/formally/etc.? Actively support each other ( #research #education #healthcare #climatechange etc.) And also cut off the wackos in their own countries? Not do this within borders but across borders? Any examples of this?
President Trump wants to return to the 19th century’s international order. He will leave America less prosperous—and the whole world less secure.Robert Kagan (The Atlantic)

A lot of BS being hurled around here when it comes to #UBI - handing #money is not the only way. Provide basic #housing #healthcare #transportation #education #food #water #energy for free and pay for it with #tax on #income #wealth #inheritance that is steeply #progressive
After that one can assess the need for actually handing out #cash

3/x Offenbar reiht sich das Agieren der SPD auch in #Kiel einem in etlichen Regionen verbreiteten Trend ein: Weil #Grüne und #SPD so nahe in Prozent beieinander liegen, hat die SPD Angst vor den Grünen. Deswegen: schlimmste Konkurrenz aus der Sicht der SPD.
Anstatt gemeinsam das #progressive Lager zu stärken und rot-grün-rot #G2R #RGR vorzubereiten... Tragisch!

BTW: Am Rande liess sich dieses Verhalten ähnlich (aber abweichend: bei allen drei Parteien!) auch bei den letzten zwei #BTW beobachten.
#NancyPelosi, the first #woman to serve as the powerful #Speaker of the US #House of Representatives, said on Thursday that she will not run for re-election to #Congress in 2026, ending a four-decade career of a #progressive #Democratic #icon often vilified by the right.

Da ist es wieder, das #Mediendilemma. Viele #Progressive lehnen #KI generell ab, doch #Ruchlose (wie es @afelia so gut formulierte) nutzen sie massiv. Schon jetzt wird #Konzernmedien wie #YouTube & #Spotify von Rechtsdualisten wie dem Label #Traditionshüter u.a. mit KI-generierten Songs & Videos geflutet.
Nein, ich bin nicht für „Gegenfluten“, wohl aber für kluge Präsenz & #Medienbildung. Neue #Medien verändern schnell die ganze #Gesellschaft. Wer nur schmollt, verliert. tagesschau.de/kultur/rechte-ki…
Eine Welle rechter KI-Songs schwappt über Streamingplattformen wie Spotify und YouTube. Die Profile dahinter sammeln Hunderttausende Klicks. Verantwortlich sind wahrscheinlich die Algorithmen.tagesschau.de
